Grant Money Is Available For Local Motor Boat Projects

Montana State Parks

Friday, January 23, 2004

Cities, towns and counties can now apply to Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks for grants of up to $35,000 for improvements at motorboat recreation facilities. A total of $150,000 in grant money is available.

To apply, the project sponsor must have the total project cost committed and be prepared to match the grant with the use of paid and volunteer hours and cash. Expenses for preliminary work such as environmental compliance, permitting and engineering can be reimbursed at up to 15 percent of the total project cost. The application deadline is April 9.

Applications require legible maps of the project location, letters of support from the public and, in cases where private lands are included in the project, copies of completed, current legal easements or agreements.
